Could you please translate this birth record? It's for Giachino Failla, another brother of Antonio Failla. This answers my question about whether or not the Gioacchino Failla I know of was the physicist I read about online. Obviously, it's not, since that one wasn't born until about 1891. Just out of curiosity, I read before that the Faia (Failla) family came from France with a Baron Ventimiglia. Do you think the Faillas in Castelbuono were from a single family at some point?

Thank you so much. At least if anyone else checks this topic looking for links to this family, they have a lot of information to begin with. Just in case anyone else does check this topic one day, I have a family tree on the Ancestry website called a Castrovinci family tree.

I just found a Gioachino Failla born in 1886. This one is said to have married Anna Maria Cusimano. I tried to attach the file to translate, but it said the board attachment quota has been reached. I was going to create a new topic to do that, but it has the same message. It makes me wonder if there must be a death record for the other Gioachino Failla born in 1884.

I have the file right here, but it won't let me attach it. It says the board attachment quota has been reached. I got the same message when I tried to put an attachment on a new topic. Why would that be? I've only attached a few things. I would like the records to remain available on this topic, since someone else might be looking for the same people. At least I could help out others by putting the records that I find on here. And get translations because I can't read most of it anyway. Could you post one of the early birth documents in the Nati section and please show where the parents and the person's name is? I was going to look at some of those yesterday, but wasn't completely sure who I was looking up, since the format seemed a little different than the later records.

Is there anyway to find out about the family of this man, Santo Failla? This record was right after three records about the children of Antonio Failla and Antonia Mazzola and they were listed as having attended it. Does that mean there's a connection somewhere? Also, Antonio and Antonia had a fourth child named Michele. I don't know anything about him, except that he was apparently born after 1910. The family lived in Castelbuono from this point on, as far as I know. Is there anyway at all to find out about him? I saw that the records on the family search site end in 1910.

Thank you! I wonder if Michelangelo's parents' records are there also. Maybe their marriage records. Do you think there's anyway to find out about someone born after 1910 in Castelbuono? I would really like to find out about Michele Failla, a son of Antonio Failla and Antonia Mazzola, if it's even possible.

to look for their marriage act.Anyway, you shouldn't find their birth acts, as acts are online only from 1862 on.Older acts are available on microfilm:https://familysearch.org/search/catalog ... %20Librarythat can be requested online, and examined at your nearest Family History Center.For acts after 1910, I think you'll have to write to the Commune of Castelbuono.
